Chuck won’t pick

He has too many of them in the 21st Congressional District race to choose just one. At a press conference Monday in which he slammed boating regulations, Schumer said he was not yet willing to endorse anyone in the race. He did not name his “friends” in the 21st.

The crowded field has eight Democrats and two Republicans vying for the seat of Mike McNulty, who is stepping down after 10 terms.

Schumer also did not take the bait and comment on the national Democratic primaries, where a nomination quickly appears to be slipping from the grasp of his fellow New York senator.
